Test Http Authentication

[lecneri]

Hi,

The docs in http://symfony.com/doc/current/testing/http_authentication.html
says too add the following content to config_test.yml

security:
    firewalls:
        your_firewall_name:
            http_basic: ~

Although when you do that and try to test you run into this error:

Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Exception\InvalidConfigurationException: You are not allowed to define new elements for path "security.firewalls". Please define all elements for this path in one config file.

This is because config.yml imports security.yml that already has security.firewalls defined.
Btw, anyone know a good way to make this http authentication test work?

I tried to search about the exception, and it's reported and closed on symfony's repository because it's a well known behavior.

symfony/symfony#16517

This means documentation is telling us to something that will make us run into an error.

It's crucial to use the same firewall name which is used in security.yml (e.g. main instead of your_firewall_name). So you won't define a new element (a new firewall) under security.firewalls, but alter the original firewall configuration.

Maybe the documentation could be more explicit about this.

@xelaris thank you. Indeed it needed same name.
I was thinking that I should not overwrite the firewall because the authentication method was already defined, so I thought that I had to create a new one for testing purpose.
For me it's fine now. Should we close?
